Chapter 08


                          I see skies of pink and orange , clouds of white and trees of green as the sun sets . The sky is like a fire coloured blanket with cotton wool stuck upon it. It's a fascinating sight to see the bright fire ball set while the moon rises from the other side .I hear birds tweet as they fly over head. The cool breeze comes and tickles my neck as it embraces me. The smell of flowers reach my nose with a pleasant scent. My legs brush against tall grass and as I look to my left and right side I see fields of green with a touch of gold sunlight. I'm off to the market to fetch some groceries. As I live in a village I skip and whistle a jaunty tune as I make my way to the town. I arrive at the market which is about to close for the day. Me being a regular customer got the chance to enter and quickly grab my necessary items. Wishing the workers a goodnight I left the market satisfied. As I look up at the sky all I see is a dark starry night sky. It's so beautiful with the sparkling bright blinking stars. I decide to go to the park and enjoy my cold ice cream before it melts. I sit on the bench pondering about life. Once I'm done I walk to the nearest trash can and throw the wrapper away. I then leave the park in the hopes of arriving back home quickly.


 As I walk past a dark alley I hear a faint mew. My legs lead me into the alley and as my eyes scan my surroundings I spot a tiny little kitten sitting upon the wall. It mews in hunger and my heart tugs me towards it due to the pitiful sound. The alley gets darker as I walk deeper but mustered my courage and walk bravely towards the poor thing. As I reach it my eyes quickly spot it's blood covered injured paw. My eyes fill with tears and my heart hurts as I look into it's pitiful eyes filled with hunger and sorrow. I then place my groceries on the ground next to me and take out a glass bottle of milk. I pour some milk onto my palm and bring it in front of the kittens face . As it laps the milk gratefully I see a dark shadow descend upon the wall through the illumintated street lamp behind the wall. The kitten stops drinking for a moment and then jumps at my face with it's outstretched claws.


The kitten jumps past me onto a figure standing behind me. With a grunt the figure throws the kitten off its face and onto the floor. It yelps in pain as it struggles to get up. As I peer into the darkness I can make out a silhoulette of a hooded man with broad shoulders and he was holding a knife.This isn't a huge surprise since I have so many enemies for killing their relatives in the past. He starts to walk a few steps towards me as I walk backwards until my back hits against the wall. His arm holding the knife stretches out and I feel my heart race and I could hear a pounding in my head as I feel a shiver down my spine. I break into a cold sweat as I see the glint of the knife coming up close to my neck. With trembling arms my hands tighten their grip on the glass bottle as I prepare for a blow of some sort. I promised myself to never get involved in bloodshed again so I decided to defend myself without killing him. 

Once the stranger is within arms reach I quickly bring the glass bottle down his head and he falls down with a moan of pain. Under the faint light I could see blood spill on the floor as I peer into his cold,empty and souless eyes. I feel a sense of euphoria for protecting myself with my great strength but as I step forward my slipper steps into a pool of warm sticky blood bringing me to the realisation of my grave doing. I had just knocked a man out and he was bleeding probably to his death. I promised to not kill again till my revenge had begun. Without a moment of hesitation I run towards the kitten while grabbing my groceries. I clutch the kitten to my chest and due to the hurry I was in to leave I didn't notice the bundle lying across us move. With no time left I start to run with tears streaming down my cheek and moistening my dry lips.
